 The Complete Mystery of Matthew Alcott

Michael Oborn

The mind of Joseph Smith has been debated much, by both Mormon and non-Mormon alike. “The Complete Mystery of Matthew Alcott” is a mystery surrounding the early time of the Mormon faith and the pursuits of Joseph Smith and his early circle of Brigham Young and Matthew Alcott, his historian. Michael Oborn creates a novel that explores the potential of Alcott to rebel and release a tell all history of the period, free from meddling from above. “The Complete Mystery of Matthew Alcott” is a strong pick for those who are seeking a bit of religion blended in with mystery and thriller.

 Why the Wind Loves Children

Fred Schlissel, author
Tetyana Snezhyk, illustrator

Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN:9781432786212

Why the Wind Loves Children is a softcover children’s book written in the style of folklore. Grandfather and storyteller Fred Schlissel spins a parable about how the land used to have fewer colors and no wind. Then came children — bright, inquisitive, and laughing. The energy of their love and the air from their laughter brought about the wind, which loves children to this day. “What a wonderful thing had happened. There were leaves on the trees and the wind made them move. A person could even hear the sound of the leaves rustle as the wind gently moved them one way and another.” Simplistic color illustrations reminiscent of a child’s artwork add a compassionate touch to this gentle and heartwarming fable.

 The Big Book Of Dan

Daniel C. Dulik

Publisher: Outskirts Press

ISBN:9781432778590

There are times when you find a book that is different in so many ways and that is what I found in this read by Daniel C. Dulik. It is one filled with essays, poems, stories, and a game called Berm Bingo, to name just a few elements you will find in the pages of this read. I liked this book mainly because it was different and I just didn’t know what I was going find within its pages. I have to say “Getting Old” definitely had my eyebrows going up a few times, but still I giggled. His poem “Is Reason Gone Forever?” is so true and gave me much to think about for a while.

For those of you looking for a read that is up-beat and funny, yet touches upon truth, be it in perhaps a slightly different way, this read is for you. It’s just a great book to read when you don’t want the norm. Enjoyable! Well done.
